Mr.. Irlands So Gold Piece.
From the Detroit Free Press.

HTOHL Tue DttTOtb FFec EFeSS.
There is a neat little joke on Fred Irland He
recently returned from a shooting expedition
and when, Friday last. he dropped into
Swans fo- lunch. became infatuated with the
idea that he should ascertain his weight and
find out how much he had gained during his alb
sence. There is in the establishment one of
those covetOus internal machines in the way of
scales which will only weigh the person who
drops a nickle in a slot, and this Mr. Irland
mounted, at the same time deposting his coin,
noted his weight, descended well satisfied and
ate mis- stew with the air of a man who was de-
Tmlned to add an additional half pound to his
He. ght on the spot.
Waen, however, he came to pay for his sup
per his jaw fell, for from among the change in
his pocket he missed nice, bright, round, vel
low So gold piece II dawned upon him that
the Unsuitable NAV of the scales had charged
him at the rate of So so per pound for his gain,
and he paralyzed. Only for moment.
however, then he caught his second wind, went
into the next room and said to 1lr. Swan:
Tom, I've dropped s. gold piece into your
scales, installing it for Sc wish you'd open the
measly thing and get it out"
''Open those scales - said Tom. Il have no
more right to do that than | have to break in the
vault of Preston's Bank Tony Wolfschlager is
the only man in Detroit that has any business to
monkey with that machine. Hold on, though,
will go over with you to TonyS and he will
make 1t all right
Mr.. Irland thought it only right that he should
do something under the circumstances, and,
after it was done, he and Mr.. Swan set out for
volunteer advisers.
Arrived there, it was necessary to explain
again, and this involved doing something else,
not only for the visiting party, but for the re-
mainder of the people in the house.
Ninety-five cents
When the case was fully before him Tony said:
why, MIR. lrland, can't do anything for you.
All have the right to do is to take the bags out
of the cases, and turn them over to what s-his-
name down on jefferson avenue, without open
ing them. I'll tell you what I'll do though. I'll
go down with you and see him"
So Tony put on his coat to go down and of
course, Fred did "a little something

Then they started out, most OF the leisurely
people about the place joining them, and went
down to the Jefferson avenue place. where the
condition Of affairs was again explained.

Different Kinds of Law.

From The Salt Lake Tribune.
Law is a boss invention for rascas of ali
grades Give me a country where there is no
law and can take care of myself every time
Now, for instance, when lived in Ohio got q
dose of law that will never forget. l was in
partnership with man named Butler and one
morning we found our cashier missing with
$1,000. He had dragged the safe and put out
Well. started after him and caught him in
Chicago, where he was splurgng around on the
money. | cot him arrested and there was an
examination. Well, all the facts were brought
out, and the defense moved that the case be
dismissed, as the prosecution did not make out
a case in the name of the firm, and if there
was firm the copartnership had not been
shown by any evidence before the court To
my establishment the court said the plea was O.

tackled him again. | sent for my partner and
we made complete case, going for him in the
name of the Commonwealth and Smith, Butler
& Co. Well, the lawyer of the defense claimed
that the money, being taken from a private
drawer in the safe, was my money exclusively
and that my partner had nothing to do with Il:
that the case should be prosecuted by me indi
vidualy, and not by the firm. The old bloke
who sat on the bench wiped his spectacles
grunted around awhile and dismissed the case
Away goes the man again. Then got another
hitch on him and tried to convict him of theft
but the court held that he should be charged
with embezzlement. Some years after tackled
him again, and they let him go. Statute of
limitation, you see. Well, Concluded to give
it up, and did.
But about four years afterward was down

A Wise Labor Leader.
from the PhiIndeIpIin Mglilel

From the PHILADELPHIA Inquirer.
Probably the man who could work the most
mischief in this country in the shortest time, if
he were so inclined, is neither Philip H. Sher-
dan, the head of the army, nor Jay Gould, the
terror OF the stock market but a man far in
ferior in wealth and position to either of them
7. NJ. Arthur, Grand Chief Engineer of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. His
army Of 5000 men is seaselessly engaged in
through all the arteries of this broad land. If
he should issue an order commanding his men
to stop work the business of the United States
would be paralyzed in an hour 1t is fortunate
then, that man SO powerful holds such sensi-
BILE and business like views as were expressed
by Mr.. Arthur ia bis speech opening the annual
convention of the order, in Chicago. In very
few words, but those full of meaning he drew
sharp picture OF the contrast between 1.-The
honest man, satisfied with Just remuneration
which he has truly earned. until by his own
effort he can rise to a higher position in life, ."
and the loud mouthed bomb thrower, who,
scarcely able to speak the English language
seeks to win his own comfortable living from
those who have worked for it." Every Knight
of Labor who has brains enough to see the APP
plication Of this picture should study it and APP
ply it to his own case.

| The interest in the case Of the condemned
Chicago Anarchists is very general through
out the country There are few who sym
payhize with them but the vast majority
of people would be glad to have the sentence
which has been pronounced upon them ex-
ecuted. The argument which viii be heard
in their case in the Supreme Court at Wash
ington to-day, will not be on the merits,
but on the question OF jurisdiction. The
court is asked 10 review the case on the
ground that grave errors were com
mitted by the court which tried the
Anarchists, aud which errors the Su-
preme Court of Illinois declined TO
correct for the reason that they
were not of such character as to have
influenced the verdict. Before the case can
be reviewed, however, the question whether
the Federal Supreme Court has a right to
do SO must be settled. The counsel for the
Anarchists will try to-day to show that it
has. The impression is That they will not
be successful They nave presented several
points i'll support of their position, but they
are not strong ones. The probabilities are
That the court will refuse 10 review the case
In that event nothing further can be done
i'll the courts for the condemned men.
If, however, the Supreme Court decides it
has authority to review the case arguments
on its merits will doubtless be heard at once,
in order that a decision may be reached
before Nov. IL, the day fixed for the execu-
ton.
1t seems that at Chicago there is no ex-
pectation that the Supreme Court will in
terfere in behalf of the condemned men, and
the preparations for their execution are
going forward rapidly. Every precaution
is being taken to prevent their escape or
rescue.
There are some who criticise the Supreme
Court quite severely for having entertained
a motion to inquire whether it has or not
authority to review the case, but very lit
tie consideration will leave no doubt that the
course it has pursued is a wise one. Indeed
1t could not very well have refused to enter
tain the motion without exposing itself to
the charge of being prejudiceI against the
Anarchists. Their sympathizers would have
raised the cry that it was impossible to get
justice, and a good many simple-minded
people would have been led into believing
that the court had failed to do its duty.
If the decision is that there is no ground
for reviewing the case, or if it is admitted
that there is ground and the case is re-
viewed and the State courts sustained the
Anarchists will not be able to assert. with
any hope of being believed, that the Chicago
bomb throwers were murdered by the
courts. Neither will they be able TO say
that the condemned men were not ably de-
Tended. From the first they have been de-
Tended by some of the ablest lawyers in the
country.

Granny's Comforter.

From The QuiUer.
Where is your father now, my child?
GOD only knows.
Twas day like this, and just as Wild
How the wind blows,
He sailed away across the bay,
So brave and true;
And never a word has since been heard
OF ship or ew.
And now my other boy, they say.
Has gone from me,
Dying thousand leagues away,
Across the sea!
Alas. of both my SONS bereft
Yet God knows best,
And, little one, you still are left,

The child beside her granny stands
Sight fair to See
And strokes the dear old time-worn hands
In sympathy;
And 10. while yet they're sorrowing there,
And each heart burns,
step is heard upon the stair

The Seeding Knights.

1t is not probable that the secession move
ment inaugurated at Chicago last Monday
by small faction of the delegates to the
Minneapolis convention will seriously injure
the organization of the knights of Labor
The circular which the seeding delegates
have issued may influence a few thousand
knights to follow them, but their places
doubtless will soon be taken by better men.
In their circular the seceders make good
many charges against Mr.. Powderly and
other leading knights. There is pretty good
reason for believing that the charges cannot
be sustained. In some of them there may be
a little truth, but there is not enough in any
of them to entitle them to serious considera-
ton.
Mr.. Powderly's friends say, and they
doubtless speak the truth, that the seceders
are Anarchists, and that their present course
is due to their failure to get the Minneapolis
convention to pass resolution sympathiz-
ing with the condemned Chicago bomb
throwers If they are that kind of men the
Knights of Labor are much better off with
out than with them. A genuine working
man has nothing in common with an An
archist
The Knights of Labor couldn't do wiser
thing than TO expel from their order all
avowed Anarchists. Workingmen have no
reason to expect advantages from any
agitation which Anarchists may inaugar-
ate, or from their doctrines Peace,
order and obedience to law are as neces-
sary TO the happiness and welfare of the
workingman as of the capitalist

Gov Ames, of Massachusetts,, is being

several years till the war broke out, when
he promptly resigned. Later, when drafted,
he sent foreigner as a substitute, who de-
serted after a short term of service. The

brave soldier, and that fact ought to give
him great advantage, but it will probably
not do so. Massachusetts is not in the habit

Judge Kelley thinks a failure to reduce the
revenue will speedily result in a financial
crisis much more disastrous and widespread
than those Of 1887 and 1851. As the Demo-
cratic party is in power, he believes the peo-
pie will hold it responsible for such fail
ure, should it occur, and he seems
to think this makes the position
of the Republicans peculiarly strong. He
says they will not permit an abolition of
the tax on tobacco if it is coupled with re-
auctions of import duties, though the propo-
sition to do so, if made in a separate bill,
would be accepted. His idea seems to be
that though in a minority the Re-
publicans are in position to
impose their policy on the
House by playing on its fears, and with the
aid of the protection Democrats. He will
probably find, however, when it comes to
the pinch that many of his Western party
colleagues will not follow him in such des-
perate campaign for free whisky and dear
clothing. They live too far from Pennsyl-
Vania.

Senator Allison is Republican, and is

views on financial questions not very far

will harmonic ON some tariff measure
which will meet the public demand for
